Enter For FreeMy most recent tattoo is a hyper realistic heart on the top of my right wrist. If you look closely, you’ll see the aorta is enlarged, a detail that represents my mom’s aortic aneurysm and the constant risk to her life that she lives with every day. I wanted to honor and support her while she’s still here, so I had it tattooed beside her birth year, which is on the same arm. My mother is my best friend she is a big supporter of my tattoo's, it is also a splatter style tattoo.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?It would whisper from the shadows, telling stories stitched with fear, survival, and the strange beauty found in darkness. Every horror-inspired piece on my skin is more than just spooky art; it's a reflection of the things I’ve faced, the fears I live with, and the parts of myself I’ve made peace with. My tattoos speak in the language of nightmares.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would invest it directly into my music career. I’m 27 and have spent the last eight years in LA chasing this dream with everything I have. I am a producer and a vocalist. After years of struggle, I’m finally starting to gain traction, and this support could truly change my life. I’d also use a portion of the money to help my mother, who recently came out of a coma and has had a difficult recovery. She lost her job during that time and has been fighting to get back on her feet
